After Subban scored on a blue line shot at 8:21 of the second, Moen made it 3-0 from the low slot with 1:06 to go in the period. Moen snapped his 21-game goal drought, dating to Dec. 31, 2011, against Florida.

Gionta put Montreal ahead 1-0 when he tipped a pass through the crease from Tomas Plekanec past Lindback during a 5-on-3 power play with 43 seconds left in the first.

Hedman received a roughing penalty that set up Tampa Bay's two-man disadvantage. The Lightning allowed one goal on seven short-handed situations.

"A lot of the penalties ... I won't say anything," Boucher said.

Tampa Bay went 1 for 5 on the power play.

The Canadiens had a couple of quality scoring chances early in the first. Lindback made a save on Colby Armstrong's backhander during a 2-on-1, and Andrei Markov hit the post with a drive.

Lindback also made a lunging blocker stop on Markov's rebound attempt.

Price stopped an in-close redirection by Vincent Lecavalier late in the first, and had a glove save on Stamkos' shot from the right circle during a second-period power play.
